Chapter Ten

I walked back into the house and into the kitchen, Olena was in there making dinner.

"Are you hungry Rose?"

"Yeah, starving."

"Well I'm not surprised, you haven't eaten for four days."

I decided not to tell her about where I had gone while I was unconscious. I didn't want her to think I was crazy, but the fact was that I had eaten while I was out, well if you can call it eating anyway.

"Have you spoken to Dimitri?" Olena asked suddenly.

"I... yeah I have." I sighed

"What did you talk about?"

"He told me that he wanted to be with me again, but I can't."

"Why not?"

"He hurt me so badly when he told me he didn't love me anymore, I don't think I could go through that again."

"You think he will change his mind again?"

"I don't know, if you asked me this a year ago I would have said no he wouldn't but that's not something I know for definite anymore."

"I see." she said with a look that told me she was thinking about something. "Listen Rose, you are like a daughter to me and all I want is for you to be happy, but I know that Dimitri means what he says. I'm his mother I know him better than most people and I don't think he will change his mind, he loves you."

"Thank you Olena it means a lot to me that your not trying to force me into a decision."

"You welcome Rose, like I said all I want is for you to be happy, if that means not being with my son then so be it. Dinner will be ready in half an hour."

"Ok thanks, I think I'll go for a shower, is Vik around?"

"Yes, I think she's in her room."

"Thanks" I said running up the stairs.

I walked across the hall and knocked on Viktoria's room.

"Come in." She called from behind the door.

I walked in to see her laid down on her bed reading a magazine. I looked at the front of it but it was in Russian so I had no idea what it said.

"Hey." I said sitting down on the end of the bed. "Where's all our stuff that we got from the mall?"

"It's over there." She said putting her magazine down on the bed and sitting up.

I walked over to the bags and searched through them until I found the box of hair dye.

"Do you mind helping me?" I said holding up the box of hair dye.

"No of course not." she said getting up off the bed.

We walked over to the bathroom. I sat down on the edge of the bath while Vik read through the intructions. After she had finished she put on the gloves and started mixing the dye together.

"Are you sure you want to do this Rose?"

"No not at all, but needs must." I sighed

"Ok here we go." she said as she started to do spread the dye onto my hair.

I closed my eyes the entire time that she put it on and also when it was time to wash it out. When I had washed it out I went into Viks room where she dried it and straightened it for me.

"It actually looks really nice Rose, Alex was right about the colour."

I opened my eyes to take a first look at it and was pleasantly surprised. Vik was right it did look nice. I still preferred my old colour but this wasn't so bad either. It wasn't really bright red it was dark with and shined red when the light hit it.

"Your right, it does look good. I think it'll take time to get used to it though."

We sat in Vik's room for a while and talked. We talked about all sorts. She told me all about school and how she was doing. I was please to hear that she had decided to become a guardian. After a while though she asked me about Dimitri.

"So I saw you talking to Dimitri outside a bit ago. Well it was more like shouting by the end of it."

"Oh, yeah. He told me he wants to be with me again."

"That's great Rose!" she said pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah it would be if I trusted him enough." I replied in a defeated voice.

"What do you mean Rose?"

I told her what I had told Dimitri and Olena about how I couldn't risk him changing his mind again.

"Rose, I know he hurt you, but he loves you. If he says that he wants to be with you then I believe him."

"I know that's what your mum said as well."

"But I do understand what you mean, he needs to re-built that trust he's destroyed, he can't just expect you to come running just because he's decided that he wants to be with you again."

"He asked me if it was because of Alex that I said no to being with him."

"He did what!" Viktoria practically exploded. "How dare he? Does he not know you? How could he even think that! What kind of jealous idiot is he? You've only known Alex like a few days!"

"That is basically exactly what I said to him. Literally word for word." I giggled

"Don't worry Rose I'll set him straight."

"Thanks Vik, that means a lot to me."

"Rose your like my sister, it's nothing." She replied

"Girls!" Olena called from the kitchen "Dinners ready!"

"Rose?" Vik said as we walked down the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Don't let what Dimka said about Alex stop you from spending time with Alex, he likes you, I think it would be unfair to him if you did that."

"I wasn't planning on it. In fact I'm training with him for a bit tomorrow."

Viktoria smiled at me as we reached the bottom of the stairs. We walked into the kitchen to find a mountain of food on the kitchen table. We had just sat down as Dimitri walked in. His eyes bugged out when he saw my new hair. I avoided his gaze and grabbed a plate and loaded it with food. We made small talk with each other as we all ate. By the time I was finished I was stuffed. I got up and picked up my plate to take to the sink.

"Don't worry about that dear I'll get it." Olena said also getting up.

"Ok well I think that I will go and call Lissa if that's ok?" I asked

"Of course it is, the phones in the living room." Olena replied

I got up and started to walk to the living room. Dimitri made a move to follow me, but Viktoria shouted to him.

"Actually Dimka I need a word with you please?"

"Uh… ok then Vik what's up?" he said sounding disappointed.

I carried on walking to the living room, picked up the phone and sat down on the sofa. I dialled Lissa's number. She answered it on the second ring.

"Hello."

"Liss? Its Rose!"

"Ohmigod Rose! Are you ok? Don't you dare scare me like that again ok?"

"Calm down Liss I'm fine. Sorry I didn't call earlier, but I've not really had a minuet to spare."

"It's fine Rose. I was so worried about you, well we all were. Adrian's been drinking since he found out, Mia and Eddie wanted to get on the first plane to Siberia, Abe had to disconnect the phone and take their mobiles away from them so they couldn't call the airlines, Christian cried for ages.."

"Wait Flamey actually cried? Ha! I'm so going to hold that over him forever!"

"Rose that's not nice, he was really worried about you! We thought you were going to die!" She scolded me.

"Sorry Liss." I replied with mock shame in my voice. "How have you been?" I asked

"Actually I've been the one holding everything together, everyone else seemed to instantly fall apart and one of us had to keep their head, that person happened to be me."

"Wow Liss I'm proud of you."

"Thanks."

We chatted for a little longer and I told her about what had happened between myself and Dimitri. She was sympathetic and told me that she would support me with whatever I decided to do.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, The guardians that were following us have gone, so you can come to Vagas whenever you're ready."

"That's great Liss. I'll get Dimitri to ring the airlines and find out when we can get a flight."

"Good. It'll be great to see you again, I've missed you."

"I've missed you to Liss."

"Rose I have to go, Abe just found a lead that he wants to discuss, we've decided not to do anything until you get here but he still wants to talk about it."

"Ok, well say hi to everyone for me and tell them that I miss them."

"I will do Rose. Bye."

"Bye."

Once I had put the phone down, I walked upstairs and into my room, where Dimitri was sitting on my bed waiting for me.

So let me know what you think. If I get enough reviews I might try to update today! Thanks :)
